Description
Who was Abitub?
Abitub is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.8.11 as one of the sons of Shaharaim, a descendant of Benjamin. Shaharaim had two wives, Hushim and Baara, and Abitub is listed among the children born to him in the land of Moab after he had sent away his previous wives.
The genealogy in 1Chronicles 8 traces the descendants of Benjamin, providing insight into the growth and development of the tribe. However, no further details are given about Abitub's life, his role within the tribe, or any significant events or accomplishments associated with him. His mention serves primarily to document the lineage of the Benjaminites.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The 10 best-attested of 13 are drawn. All 13 are listed below.

The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
